<h4>Adding a web link</h4>

<p>To add a Resources item that is a URL to a web site, follow these
steps:
</p><ol><li>In your site's <a href="content.hlp?docId=arcc">menubar</a>, click <strong><code>Resources</code></strong>.<br /><br />
</li><li>Next to the folder to which you want to add the URL, mouse over
<strong><code>Add</code></strong>, and click <strong><code>Add Web Links (URLs)</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>For each resource, type the URL in the box. (You may omit the
<code>http://</code> prefix.)

<br /><br />
</li><li>Add a title for your URL link resource. If you don't add a title,
the URL will be used as the title of the resource.

<br /><br />
</li><li>To add a description, and control access and visibility, click
<strong><code>Add details for this item </code></strong>:

<br /><br />

<ul><li>Next to "Description", enter text to describe the site to which
you're linking.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Under "Availability and Access", control who can access the URL
and when its available, as follows:

<ul><li>To display the URL to site members only, select <strong><code>Only members
of this site can see this folder and its contents.</code></strong>
</li><li>To share the URL with another site to which you belong (e.g., as
an attachment to a syllabus item for another course or project you're
leading), select <strong><code>This folder and its contents are publicly
viewable.</code></strong> (This option is not available if the folder to which
you're adding the URL is publicly viewable.)
</li><li>To display the URL only to selected groups, select <strong><code>Display
this folder and its contents to selected groups only.</code></strong>, and then
select the group(s) that should have access to the URL. For more
information on groups, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=atcs">Managing groups</a>.
</li><li>To show or hide your URL, or set a beginning and/or ending date
for the URL's visibility, click the appropriate selections. (This
option does not appear when you're adding an item to Resources in <a href="content.hlp?docId=aqzy">My
Workspace</a>.) Site administrators will always be able to see hidden
items, even when they are hidden from other users.
</li></ul></li></ul><br />
</li><li>To add another URL, click <strong><code>Add Another Web Link</code></strong>.

<p><strong>Note:</strong> To remove a URL from the list of URLs to
add, click the red <strong><code>X</code></strong> next to it.</p>
</li><li>Next to "Email Notification", specify whether or not you want to
have members of the site notified automatically via email when the
resource is posted. (This option does not appear when you're adding an
item to Resources in My Workspace.)

<p><strong>Note:</strong> The notification email message will include
the web site title and description (if you entered one), and the
URL.</p>
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Add Web Links now</code></strong> to finish.
</li></ol>
